46 | Too Embarrassed To Ask? The Truth About Candida, Yeast Infections, And Hormone Imbalance [Perimenopause: From A-Z]

Hey friend,

Are you dealing with sudden, out-of-control cravings for sugary, starchy, or carby foods? (like, more than normal?)

…What about bloating, a skin rash, or even sinus issues that won’t go away (even though you’re doing everything to eat right and live a healthy lifestyle?)

…Or maybe you’ve found yourself visiting the Monistat aisle at your favorite drugstore a bit more frequently lately, because, umm, something’s going on “down there” again?

If you’ve been experiencing any or all of these symptoms, something called “candida overgrowth” could be to blame. And while there’s nothing quite like ANOTHER yeast infection to rain on your holiday parade, candida can also be a sign of an underlying hormonal imbalance.

In this week’s episode, I’m going to share with you everything you wanted to know about candida (but maybe were afraid to ask), including why so many women experience candida more often in perimenopause and menopause.

Join me in this episode where I’ll unpack:

• 5 different ways candida shows up in our bodies

• The “silent” symptoms of candida overgrowth to watch out for

• 6 causes of candida infection, including the relationship between candida and diet

• The connection between estrogen and candida

Plus, I’ll share the problem with conventional candida treatment and the first thing you need to do to stop a recurring yeast infection.

If you’re too embarrassed to go to your doctor (or worried he’ll just brush off your questions with another prescription), this episode is for you!
